Awards venue

Situated on Park Lane in the heart of Mayfair, Grosvenor House, A JW Marriott Hotel epitomises the fine hotel culture and history of London. Frequented by royalty, celebrities and business since its opening in 1929, this historic hotel continues its time-honoured tradition for the exceptional style, service and facilities expected from a 5-star luxury hotel in London.

The hotel boasts 494 luxuriously appointed guestrooms and suites, making it London’s largest five star hotel. In addition, the hotel offers five bar and four dining options, including the award winning Park Room that serves the Rose Afternoon Tea which was launched along with the Grosvenor House rose to commemorate the hotel’s 80th birthday. For each Rose Tea sold, a donation is given to the Royal Parks Foundation. Corrigan’s Mayfair, the signature restaurant of celebrity chef, Richard Corrigan opened in November 2008 and has recently won a host of awards including AA London Restaurant of the Year 2010.

86 Park Lane consists of 20 elegant private function suites and can accommodate up to 400 guests whilst the famed Great Room, originally an ice rink where Queen Elizabeth II learned to skate can hold up to 2,000 guests, features sweeping staircases and fairy-tale chandeliers. It is also home to the star studded BAFTAs, Mercury Music Awards and a number of other glamorous events.

As a multiple Catey winner and a world-class hotel, The Dorchester provided an inspirational location for the 2012 Catey's judging sessions.

The Catey's recognise the standards of excellence in the hospitality industry upheld by its people. This year Alain Ducasse at The Dorchester was awarded three Michelin stars, the only London hotel with this prestigious accolade. The Dorchester Spa was transformed in 2009 to create the most desirable and indulgent pampering destination in London and was recently named favourite UK Hotel Spa 2010 by Conde Nast Traveller readers.

The Dorchester occupies the most prestigious acre and a half of real estate in the world, in the heart of Mayfair overlooking the glorious green expanse of Hyde Park.

Prized for its spacious and beautifully designed rooms and suites, The Dorchester’s restaurants and bars – Alain Ducasse, China Tang, The Grill and The Promenade – also attract Londoners and the glitterati alike.
